Specializes in General Practice

Diagnosis: First requirement is accurate diagnosis. If this is confirmed ulcer, is H. pylori present? (May need anti-biotics). Also, ask your Dr. to consider a PPI (like priolosec or nexium) to reduce acid production in the stomach. May need an endoscopy to verify status of condition. Of course, avoid acidy foods and beverages.. Time to heal may be months.., although relief will come sooner w care
